More than half of the members of a club are ladies.If 4/7 of the ladies and 7/11 of the gents in the club attended the meeting,then what is the smallest number that club could have?
a)25 b)18 c)39 d)22

it would be 25 in smallest form , as for every 7 women 4 attended the meeting so for this ratio we can assume women to be (2*4/2*7) = (8/14) like there are 8 women attended the meeting from 14 women ,and for every 11 men 7 attended the meeting ,so overall ( as per condition women are more than half of total members so we can say there are 11 men and 14 women ,as 14 women > 11 men ) i.e 11 men + 14 women gives 25 members for the club.
